[banskie100]

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania
(ROSTER EXTENSION/REVAMP)
The original thread of the Lithuanian faction preview is on the link below. Made by Ltd.

(http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...y-of-Lithuania)

Strengths : High vareity of cavalry, heavy, light and missiled. Decent foot melee units. Has Duke's own paid retinue units, good quality, and dependable. Has an ambush unit good for surprise attacks if used properly.

Weaknesses : No polearm and pike weaponed units. Surrounded with many possible enemies. Struggle early on when dealing an army from the east.

Many thanks to my co-modders from MK1212 AD mod and the people who helped me in Discord channel from updating/revamping this faction. MAKE LITHUANIA GREAT AGAIN!!!
